Cambridgeshire & Peterborough’s Combined Authority will meet tomorrow to consider the results of its bus procurement.
In a statement today, the Combined Authority said that 14 of the 18 services cut by Stagecoach, along with all of the five reduced services, had received tenders from new operators.
Two Peterborough routes, one in Royston, and the part of the 39 which runs between March and Chatteris, did not receive tenders from bus operators.
The Citi8 beyond Cottenham, and the 39 between Chatteris and Ely, may therefore be saved for the next five months.
Assuming tomorrow’s meeting agrees the tenders, the names of the operators, and the timetables they will run, will not be published for nearly another week.
If the 39 stays can the times be changed, I have to get my children up at 5.40 to get the 6.39 bus to Sutton and they do not start school untill 8.40 it’s a long day for them and the school are raising concerns about my health and the children’s
Good morning, Nicolle. I’m so very sorry to hear that – it’s a very early start and a long day for you and the children, and I’m not surprised it’s taking its toll. The new timetables are due to be published on Monday.
